			<title>Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook Computer</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/609/Dell-Inspiron-Mini-9-Netbook-Computer/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The default Windows XP configuration comes in at $399, and has 512MB of RAM and an 8GB solid state drive (SSD, they’re flash-based, like your iPod nano or iPhone). For $50 more you can upgrade to a 16GB SSD and 1GB of RAM. Its more expensive than the comparable netbooks from Asus or Acer, though the lack of Windows XP configurations that closely match the Dell make a direct price comparison difficult  since both Asus and Acer netbooks that come with Windows XP come with 120GB or 160GB hard disk drives, compared to the SSD in the Dell Mini 9.]]></description>

			<title>SmoothCreations LanShark Pro Customized Gaming System</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/593/SmoothCreations-LanShark-Pro-Customized-Gaming-System/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Now, personally, I don&#039;t go in for the metal sinew-and-eyeballs theme, but I tip my hat to the Giger-inspired paint-monkey that delivered it with so much polish, and the fact is that you can ask for any paintjob you desire - for free.  From concept to product, the unsubtle layering of silver grotesquerie wraps around the hardware and showcases it and only it, with a slick internal bezel that conceals cable mess and power wiring.  There&#039;s more to the design than just looks, with top-notch engineering (and maybe some trial-and-error) that leave no doubts about the quality of construction. Perhaps most surprising, this custom-built, hand-crafted little wonder essentially costs less than the sum of its parts.]]></description>

			<title>Shuttle KPC K45 Barebones System</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/531/Shuttle-KPC-K45-Barebones-System/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve had this KPC for a month now.  Maybe longer, actually.  This review has seen setback after setback: I&#039;ve had entirely too grand a time playing with this little Linux wonder to really bother with writing.  Sure, it&#039;s got drawbacks--big ones, to be honest--but it also has this charm not readily engendered by other boxes, no matter how small, elegant, or polished they may be.  And, pretty soon, I&#039;m going to have to take it apart and stick its silicon organs into another machine so I can report on my KPC&#039;s performance. I want to delay that.  I want to keep playing.]]></description>

			<title>Apple iMac - New &amp; Improved</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/435/Apple-iMac-New-Improved/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The new iMacs are very thin. The entire stand and unit is only about 8” deep for the 24” display. The unit that houses the display and components itself is only about two to three inches thick. The display is thinner on the edges of the unit and thicker in the center where it comes together with the stand. Outside of the changed display, the stand is similar to the previous iMac. Want more gritty details? You&#039;re going to have to read the article!]]></description>

			<title>Zonbu Zonbox</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/433/Zonbu-Zonbox/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The PC industry is known for making their products small and fast, and the Zonbu Zonbox is an interesting advancement in the arena. The goal of the box is to provide a simple, Linux-based PC that offers basic functionality like web browsing, productivity, and entertainment. Zonbu is also a hit on the green front. The Zonbox not only runs off of a very low power Intel CPU, but also uses a compact flash card for the hard drive, which helps it consume much less power than its counterpart, desktop PC models. Zonbu&#039;s Zonbox is loaded with buzzwords: green, desktop Linux, open source. But can it deliver, or is it just a bunch of hype?]]></description>

			<title>Alienware Aurora m9700 17-inch Notebook</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/429/Alienware-Aurora-m9700-17inch-Notebook/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[When I think laptop, I think portable computing.  I want to be able to check some mail, sync some music, and basically, go a long time out of the house without worrying about where I&#039;m going to find a free outlet.  I&#039;m also the sort who uses a laptop for work, not games, and would rather spend my gaming budget on a capable desktop.  But I understand wanting a laptop that can game, I&#039;ve done the LAN party deal for posterity.  I also understand the appeal of the desktop replacement: a quiet computer that takes up almost no space is something most everyone agrees with.]]></description>

			<title>Alienware Sentia m3450 14-inch Notebook</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/319/Alienware-Sentia-m3450-14inch-Notebook/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The Alienware Sentia m3450 14&quot; widescreen notebook sports a 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of 667MHz DDR2, 100GB 7,200 RPM Hard Drive, and a Dual Layer DVD Writer. It looks promising as a notebook for students and businessmen who want something portable without sacrificing too much power. We knew it wasn't going to be a gamer's laptop from the onset, as it uses integrated video, but we put it through its paces for 30 days to find out whether it's worth the Alienware price premium.]]></description>

			<title>Apple MacBook 13-inch 1.83GHz Follow-Up</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/300/Apple-MacBook-13inch-183GHz-FollowUp/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[In my MacBook review almost two months ago, my final recommendation was a bit open-ended. My first technical support experience with Apple was very positive. My AC adapter broke and the folks at the Apple Store were creative in finding an adequate solution before I left for a vacation. However, my second experience didn't go so well.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Since this is my first Mac, I will not be simply reviewing the MacBook 13-inch as a product, but rather I will also evaluate the whole process of buying an Apple MacBook from the very beginning as well as discuss what using a Mac is like, including my experience with tech support.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Smaller than most computers, and that means a lot for those who move their computer often, or if you have limited space. The airflow throughout the case is lacking. Mobo tray is a big plus. Great system overall.]]></description>
